The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 Load leveling kit. 60733 (Part #BBCG60733) fits 1973-1981 Buick Century models. The 1988 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 Load leveling kit. 60733 (Part #BBCG60733) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Air Lift 1000 is an air spring suspension support kit that replaces or supplements factory coil springs. It provides load support and helps level the vehicle when carrying varying loads. The kit includes two air springs, protectors, air line assembly, Schrader valve, and associated hardware.
The Air Lift 1000 is designed for 1962 and up GM vehicles, 1966–1990 Ford vehicles, 1991 and up Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, 2000 Suburban, 4DR-4WD Tahoe, Yukon, Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Avalanche, Kia Sorento, Hummer H2, Pathfinder, and Escalade. Verify your specific vehicle model and year against this list. Contact Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892 if you are unsure.
No. The Air Lift 1000 is installed inside the factory coil spring. The flattened air spring is inserted through the lowest opening of the coil spring and expands to its molded shape once inside. The factory coil spring remains in place.
Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with vibration dampers between the turns of the coil spring, they must be removed before installing the air springs. The air spring will replace their function. Some models also have a plastic vibration damper (blue in color) snapped around the coil that must be removed.
Some mid-size GM vehicles have a solid cup located on the lower spring seat that will not allow the air line to exit the coil. If your vehicle has this cup, it must be removed before installing the air spring.
For Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Avalanche, Hummer H2, Pathfinder, and Escalade, you must trim approximately 1" (25mm) of the rubber isolator at the top of the coil spring to ensure adequate valve stem clearance. This is necessary for proper air spring installation.
Before beginning installation, check the clearance from the coil spring to the exhaust system. If there is less than 2" of clearance, you will need to install a heat shield (if supplied with the kit). Additionally, maintain at least 6" (152mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent the air line from melting.
Yes. You will need a hoist or floor jacks to raise the rear of the vehicle, and two safety stands to support the frame. The suspension must be fully extended during installation.
Required tools include: hoist or floor jacks, two safety stands, safety glasses, air compressor or compressed air source, spray bottle with dish soap/water solution, pliers (for compressing air line clamp ears), and a sharp knife (for cutting air line). A drill is needed to create the 5/16" (8mm) hole for the Schrader valve.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection as a requirement for Air Lift 1000 installation. However, consult your vehicle's service manual for any electrical precautions related to suspension work.
For 1962 and up GM vehicles and 1966–1990 Ford vehicles, insert the air spring with the valve stem at the bottom. For 1991 and up Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, 2000 Suburban, 4DR-4WD Tahoe, Yukon, Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Avalanche, Kia Sorento, Hummer H2, Pathfinder, and Escalade, insert the air spring with the valve stem at the top.
First, remove the plastic cap from the barbed stem and exhaust the air from the air spring by rolling it up toward the barbed stem. Replace the cap to hold the flat shape. Insert the flattened air spring into the coil spring through the lowest opening with the stem facing the correct direction for your vehicle. Push the air spring up or down within the coil by hand or with a blunt instrument such as a spoon-type tire iron. When completely within the coil, remove the cap and allow the air spring to assume its molded shape.
The protector always goes on the stem side of the air spring. For 1962 and up GM vehicles and 1966–1990 Ford vehicles, push the air spring to the top of the coil and insert the protector on top of the lower spring seat. For 1991 and up Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, 2000 Suburban, 4DR-4WD Tahoe, Yukon, Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Avalanche, Kia Sorento, Hummer H2, Pathfinder, and Escalade, push the air spring to the bottom of the coil and insert the protector at the top. The protector can be inserted facing either direction.
A single-path air line installation (using the tee fitting) is recommended for vehicles with even weight distribution. If weight in the vehicle varies from side to side and unequal pressures are needed to level the load, use a dual-path installation. For dual-path, eliminate the tee fitting and route separate air lines for both air springs.
Slide the air line clamp onto the air line. Push the air line and clamp over the barbed stem so that the air line covers all the barbs. Compress the ears on the air line clamp with pliers and slide it forward to fully cover the barbs.
Select a location for the Schrader valve that ensures it will be protected and accessible with an air hose. Common locations shown in the manual include inside the fuel tank filler door, inside rear wheel wells, or the license plate/rear bumper area. Drill a 5/16" (8mm) hole and mount the valve as shown in the manual, with the rubber washer serving as an outside weather seal.
Route the air line along the top of the frame on both sides to, and down through the top spring seats, through an air spring protector to the air springs. Leave sufficient slack to prevent any strain on the fitting during axle motions. Cut the air line to length using a sharp knife.
Attach the straight pump connector to the air line, then attach the straight pump connector to the air spring fitting. Do not use any tools to tighten the fitting.
Once the air lines have been installed, raise the suspension or lower the body so that the air spring just touches the top and bottom of the upper and lower spring mounts. Inflate the air springs to 5 PSI (0.34 BAR) as the initial pressure.
Yes. You must drill a 5/16" (8mm) hole to mount the Schrader valve. This is the only drilling required for the basic installation. The location should be chosen to ensure the valve is protected and accessible with an air hose.
Yes. For Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Avalanche, Hummer H2, Pathfinder, and Escalade, trimming approximately 1" (25mm) of the rubber isolator at the top of the coil spring is a permanent modification required for adequate valve stem clearance.
The maximum inflation pressure is 35 PSI (2.4 BAR). Never inflate beyond this pressure. The actual air pressure needed is dependent on load and gross vehicle weight rating, but should not exceed this maximum.
The minimum recommended pressure is 5 PSI (0.34 BAR). This is the initial inflation pressure set after installation before the vehicle is lowered.
Drill a 5/16" (8mm) hole for the Schrader valve mounting.
Always use safety stands to support the frame when the vehicle is raised. Wear safety glasses. Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum gross vehicle weight rating or payload rating. Observe tension on the brake air line and do not strain it. Do not inflate the air springs before reading the maintenance guidelines and user guide included with the kit.
Maintain at least 6" (152mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent the air line from melting. If the initial clearance check shows less than 2" between the coil spring and exhaust, a heat shield must be installed.
Perform four checks before road testing: (1) Clearance test—inflate to 25-35 PSI and ensure at least 1/2" (13mm) clearance from anything that might rub against each air spring; (2) Leak test—inflate to 25-35 PSI and use soapy water solution to check all connections for leaks; (3) Heat test—verify at least 6" (152mm) clearance from heat sources and install heat shield if included; (4) Road test—drive 10 miles and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners, and air leaks.
Inflate the air springs to 25-35 PSI (1.7-2.4 BAR) and use a spray bottle with soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core for leaks. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested.
Check air pressure weekly to maintain proper system operation and vehicle ride height.
If the system develops an air leak, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core. Identify the source of the leak before deflating and removing the air spring. Consult the included User Guide for detailed leak repair instructions.
Yes. Always maintain normal ride height and never inflate beyond 35 PSI (2.4 BAR). The actual air pressure needed depends on load and gross vehicle weight rating.
You need a hoist or floor jacks, two safety stands, safety glasses, air compressor, spray bottle with soapy water, pliers, sharp knife, and a drill for the 5/16" (8mm) Schrader valve hole.
No. The Air Lift 1000 air spring is inserted inside the factory coil spring and expands to its molded shape. The factory coil spring remains in place.
Maintain at least 6" (152mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent melting. If initial clearance is less than 2", install a heat shield.
Perform clearance test (1/2" minimum), leak test using soapy water at 25-35 PSI, heat test (6" clearance minimum), and road test (10 miles with rechecks).
Check air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height and never exceed 35 PSI (2.4 BAR).
Inflate the air springs to 25-35 PSI (1.7-2.4 BAR) and use a spray bottle with soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core for leaks. Bubbles will form at the leak location. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested. Once the leak source is identified, consult the included User Guide for specific repair instructions.
Inflate the air springs to 25-35 PSI (1.7-2.4 BAR) and verify at least 1/2" (13mm) clearance from anything that might rub against each air spring. If clearance is insufficient, the air spring may be positioned incorrectly within the coil. Verify that the air spring is fully inserted and properly positioned according to your vehicle type. If the problem persists, consult Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
Maintain at least 6" (152mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent melting. If the initial clearance check shows less than 2" between the coil spring and exhaust, install a heat shield (if supplied with the kit). If a heat shield is required but not included, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892 to obtain one.
